Chapter 80:

"Brother Dong?"

After He Jia finished the phone call, he opened the door and saw Winter Solstice standing in the corridor. After calling a few times, the other party came back to his senses.

Thinking of the strange thing that the winter solstice said just now, she couldn't help but feel a little worried, and said timidly: "Are you all right?"

"It's alright." Winter Solstice showed her a soothing smile. "How's the call going?"

He Jia said: "It's strange to say, my aunt said she had a dream, dreamed that the sixth uncle said goodbye to her and said that she was leaving. She woke up and felt that something was wrong, so she called me."

The winter solstice nodded: "Uncle Six is ​​your family's treasurer, and his relationship with your auntie has a beginning and an end."

He Jia smiled and said: "But don't worry, I didn't say anything that shouldn't be said, I didn't even mention your existence, I only said that I knew the master in this field and could help me with the practice. My aunt let me handle it completely, but To bury Uncle Six and erect a monument, she said that she will return to China to visit Uncle Six in the future."

Dongzhi secretly praised the girl's reaction and tone, and he did not forget to remind again: "You can dispose of the body of the sixth uncle, but the clearing of the hotel must be done as soon as possible, and must not be delayed."

On Mu Duo's side, the police rushed over soon after receiving the news. Team Zhou and Xiao Qi handed them over to settle them. Mu Duo took Yan Nuo back to the office and quickly reported the matter to the branch.

She did not conceal the role of the winter solstice in the accident, and even emphasized that if there was no winter solstice, they might not have a chance to escape now. The phone call lasted for two hours. The branch leader attached great importance to this matter and said that they would send more The staff went to assist them, and asked Mu Duo to formally write the situation into the report as soon as possible and report it.

After finishing the call, Mu Duo finally let out a long breath.

Exhausted, she fell back on the sofa.

This fatigue comes not only from the body, but also from the mind.

In just one night, she was seriously injured and almost lost her life. She lost two of her companions. In the end, she survived and survived. At that time, she was in a critical moment, and her reaction was instinctive.

"I'm sorry, I have troubled you." Yan Nuo said weakly.

"Don't say that." Mu Duo smiled, her face was not much better than Yan Nuo's.

Just now, Captain Zhou's subordinates wanted to send them to the hospital, but Mu Duo was thinking about reporting the incident to the top, so he chose to rush back first.

"The winter solstice injury is not light, but he is still busy with this matter now. On the other hand, looking at the few of us, it is a hindrance."

"Before, I was too emotional. I vented my dissatisfaction with the last newcomer on him, which also affected your judgment." Yan Nuo's voice was very soft, as if it would be blown away in the next second.

"I don't blame you, it's not just your misjudgment, we are also preconceived." Mu Duo's eyelids are heavy, and her internal organs are in pain like a knife, but she has no strength to get up, anyway, she will not be able to breathe for a while. , let's go to sleep first.

The sky is getting brighter outside, let the eyes perceive through the gaps between the branches and leaves, and all the darkness has died down, sending hope into the heart.

When she wakes up, she has to apologize to the winter solstice.

Mu Duo thought so, and finally fell into a dream.

When you wake up, it's a new day.

No matter how long the night may be, the arrival of dawn always sparks new hope.

He Jia's actions were very fast, and the clearing was completed before the next evening. The employees also took paid leave. For the guests who had paid the deposit, she paid double compensation and canceled all the orders. The police directly took the hotel It's blocked off and no one is allowed in.

The lack of staff in the Lucheng Office was fully manifested at this moment. Xiao Qi died in the line of duty. Yan Nuo's after-effects of losing his soul had not yet passed, and he could not work at all. Before the staff dispatched by the branch to help, Mu Duo and the Winter Solstice People had to drag the injured body and check the hotel up and down again. Unfortunately, the winter solstice still did not find the other traps that the weasel Lao Liu said that the other side had set up in the hotel.

Maybe the other party has already withdrawn, in order not to leave a trace, so he wants to kill the old sixth.

But this is not good news, because such an enemy is also more cunning and difficult to deal with.

Maybe because of their high attention, the other party may not commit crimes in Lucheng again, but it does not mean that they will not go to other places.

Before Yamamoto appeared before, Mu Duo and Yan Nuo felt that the Winter Solstice was eager to make a contribution, and they were making a fuss about the hotel. Now Mu Duo naturally doesn't say such things anymore, and she also added this matter to the report.

In addition, the winter solstice was not idle. He wanted to recover from his injury and continued to rent a house. The intermediary finally found a suitable house for him. It was in the community next to the office. It was completed two years ago. The facilities are new and the environment is beautiful. It is more than a hundred times stronger than the office, with two bedrooms and one living room. The only fly in the ointment is that the rent is a little higher. Fortunately, I have some savings during the winter solstice, and I also have a salary income during this period, which is more than enough to support the rent.

The card that Long Shen gave him has been kept in his wallet and has not been used. When paying the rent deposit on the winter solstice, he opened his wallet inadvertently and suddenly remembered that he had not contacted Master for a whole week.

Although the Special Administration Bureau is a special department, it must follow the procedures for handling affairs. As for things that happen in Lucheng, it should be reported to the East China Sub-bureau first, and then the sub-bureau decides whether to report it or not. I went to tell Long Shen that this is a big taboo in the workplace, just like when he was the main artist, he didn't like conflicts between the newcomers under his command, so he just passed him and complained to the project manager.

Although he won't report by leaps and bounds, he does have a lot of doubts in his heart. For example, whether the gray piece of paper in the hotel is a shikigami or something else. If he can identify it, it may help them continue to solve the case. Tracking down the murderer who killed Lao Liu, as far as knowledge is concerned, it is naturally his master.

Taking advantage of the fact that the house was settled and the injuries were almost healed, the Winter Solstice called Long Shen directly.

The phone rang twice and the other end picked up.

"winter solstice."

The tone of voice is familiar and sweet, and it is slightly throbbing.

"Master, it's me. Didn't bother you?"

The other end hummed, the winter solstice was still adjusting his mood, and he didn't speak first.

The two ends were silent for a few seconds, separated by a phone call, and also separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.

The only thing that can maintain each other is this little phone that transmits sound waves.

He calmed down and showed his calmness when confronting Yamamoto Kiyoshi: "It's like this, an incident happened a few days ago, it was a work matter, we have already reported it to the branch, but here is a discovery. , I can't judge, so I want to ask you for help."

The winter solstice briefly talked about the piece of paper in the hotel.

"The piece of paper is still with me now. I was afraid that there was something strange in it, so I sealed it with a talisman."

Long Shen pondered for a moment: "Take a photo and send it over. It should be clear, the shape of the paper, and the details are enlarged."

The winter solstice hurriedly agreed. The other party answered any questions and his tone was normal, but he always had an indescribable sense of disobedience.

"Master, have you been very busy lately, why don't you even reply to my text messages? Is Long Long okay?"

Long Shen: "Very good."

Solstice: ... skip all the questions and answer the last one!

He deliberately made trouble: "Then He Yu is okay? Is watching Chaosheng okay? How is Zhong Yuyi? Do you miss your lovely apprentice?"

Long Shen was silent for a while: "Let's do this first, I still have something to do here."

winter solstice:? ? ?

Before he could respond, the phone hung up.

Winter Solstice stared at the phone for a while.

Is it normal for his master to be like this, or not?

He still remembered that before he left, even if Long Shen didn't like to talk nonsense, he would occasionally talk to him about daily life, and now it was obvious that he didn't want to talk more.

There must be something wrong here.

The winter solstice searched in his mind for the inadequacies that might annoy him, and after thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with a reason, so he had to take a picture of the paper and send it.

This time, Long Shen responded quickly. He said: There may be some kind of spiritual thing attached to it.

The heroes saw the same thing, the Winter Solstice laughed, and sent another message: Master, can you see what kind of spiritual thing it is?

Long Shen: The general shikigami may transform into various shapes as you said, and cooperate with the master's order to kill people, but it will not absorb the yang energy and make people sick. According to what you said, combined with the photos, the shikigami is attached. , it may be demonic energy, resentment, or remnant soul. I still can't tell which kind it is. Go back and wait for the people from the branch to come over. You give them the things and let them check.

He agreed.

Winter Solstice: Master, do you want people looking for stone tablets to come to Lucheng to find them? This incident was written by Fujikawa and his junior brother, and maybe it has something to do with the stone tablet.

Long Shen's reply is very simple: the branch will handle it.

The winter solstice didn't say anything about his injury. He usually suffered a little injury. He was happy to act like a spoiled child to gain attention, but now that the injury is not serious, he did not want to let the other party know and worry about it.

However, Long Shen's attitude is indeed a bit strange.

He thought and thought, but still sent a message to He Yu: Have you left Beijing?

He Yu replied quickly: No, Zhong Yuyi passed by first, I was two days late, and the boss didn't rush me anyway, how is it on your side?

Winter Solstice: It’s okay, I encountered a small problem, but it can be resolved. Then you can help me to see if Master is in a meeting now.

He Yu: No, I just came back from the boss, he is in the office.

Solstice: Has he been busy lately?

He Yu: It's okay, there are a lot of meetings, but it shouldn't be too busy, otherwise he wouldn't have time to call me over and scold me, saying that if I don't set off, my bonus will be deducted and my game number will be confiscated. How do you think he can do this all day long? His leg was broken due to a business injury, how could he not pity Xiangxiyu at all!

Watching He Yu typing is also very impressive, as if he could see a sturdy big man speaking with his throat squeezed, he wanted to laugh subconsciously.

The winter solstice wanted to remind He Yu not to use the word Lianxiangxiyu in the future, it would easily turn people off.

As soon as he typed two words, the smile he had just raised suddenly froze.

Since Long Shen is not busy, why is he so shy to talk to himself?

When he was still in the capital, the attitude of the other party towards the only apprentice was not like this.

Holding the phone, hesitating for half a minute, he couldn't help but ask He Yu: Is Master in a bad mood recently?

He Yu: No.

Winter Solstice: Did he say something wrong with me in front of you?

He Yu: Of course not. Do you think the boss looks like this kind of person? I suspect that one day he will suffocate to death because he knows too many secrets, or he will explode in place because of the secret. Why did you ask that and quarreled with him?

Winter Solstice: Do you think he looks like someone who can quarrel with people?

He Yu: That's right, he usually doesn't need to talk nonsense, just stab you to death with a sword.

winter solstice:……

He felt that he was typing word by word, and he didn't know it would take the year of the monkey to clarify the problem, so he simply made a phone call.

Soon, He Yu's lazy voice came: "Hey, Xiao Dongdong, it's been a long time, it's like a lot of autumn!"

Winter Solstice couldn't help laughing: "Long time no see, how are your legs?"

He Yu sighed: "It's okay, I'll be able to remove the plaster after two days of laziness. When I think of going on a mission with Kanchaosheng, I feel cold in my heart, and I will talk to you next time. As a partner, you must be more reliable than him!"

Winter Solstice: "I can't change shape, I guess I can't help you much."

He Yu: "Your voice is a bit wrong, hurt?"

Dongzhi snorted: "I met Fujikawa's junior brother on Lucheng's side and fought with him, it's no big deal."

He was afraid that the other party would turn back and talk to Long Shen, so he took it lightly.

But He Yu is not so easy to fool: "It doesn't look like a minor injury, right?"

Winter Solstice said with a smile: "It's okay, don't worry, I know it."

He Yu said earnestly: "You also know the physique of the boss. Unlike us, he can still carry it when he is injured. Don't think that if you become his apprentice, you will be as invulnerable as him! If you don't pay attention now, let's see. After several years of old and new injuries, you will know how powerful it is!"

Winter Solstice's heart warmed: "I see, these two days are coming to an end. I'll go to the hospital when I look back. But I called Master just now, and he doesn't seem to be willing to talk to me. Did something happen recently?"

He Yu snorted: "You found it too?"

This sentence makes the winter solstice feel very inside.

"How to say?"

He Yu said: "I also think he's been weird recently, a little absent-minded, but others insisted that he didn't, and the dead guy who watched Chaosheng also said that I entered menopause early!"

In the end, he was a little outraged.

The Winter Solstice was very puzzled: "What can make Master lose his temper? The things above?"

He Yu: "That's impossible. The boss doesn't care about this. There are usually two reasons for men to lose their souls, either for fame and fortune, or for personal love."

Long Shen was only distracted for a few seconds, but he was directly exaggerated to be lost.

But He Yu also analyzed it seriously: "There are also several types of personal relationships. The boss has no parents and no brothers, so it is definitely impossible for family love. According to me, it is either broken up or falling in love, but then again, I don't think it is possible. Possibly! Maybe he's been single longer than my master's age, if it's true, I'll swallow a whole durian!"

Winter Solstice: "...Instead of listening to your nonsense, I might as well go to the hospital to recuperate, goodbye!"

He Yu screamed: "Don't hang up, Lao Zhong and Kan Chaosheng have too low emotional intelligence to discuss this kind of thing with them, and can't show my wisdom. Have a heart!"

Goosebumps popped out of his skin when he said the winter solstice.

"Don't, I don't want to be your son-in-law Boya. I'm far away now, so you can help me to find out if Master has encountered any problems."

He Yu said: "Don't be funny, he still has problems? It's good that he doesn't create problems for others! Why don't you care about your lovely lame friend He Yu?"

The winter solstice rolled his eyes: "Isn't the first sentence of the call to greet you? Besides, even if you don't ask, I know that you must be trying to be lazy for a few more days because of your injury. In fact, your legs are almost better, right? Be careful. Go too far and get burned!"

He Yu smiled and said: "For the sake of your usual loyalty, my brother will help you to inquire, lest you be in the thunder!"

The winter solstice rejoices: "Thank you brother, I'll meet you back and invite you to a big meal!"

He Yu: "I don't want a big meal, do you think I'm watching the tide, that's his low-level interest!"

Winter Solstice: "I know, game packs! You are a high-level hobbyist. "The Great Wilderness" has recently added a lot of new costumes. Would you like to buy you a set of each?"

He Yu immediately said: "Dad! I'll go right now, if you have anything, just tell me!"

winter solstice:……

He Yu considers himself to be a very disciplined person, and he does what he says. As soon as he puts down the phone, he gets up and goes to Long Shen's office.

"Boss, you are the most handsome and dashing in the world, your subordinates are coming to see you!" He Yu said sweetly.

Long Shen looked away from the computer, his tone was not affected by him at all.

"what's up?"

"I can't come to see you if I have nothing to do with you?" He Yudala sat down on the sofa and said aggrievedly, "Boss, it's okay for someone to be injured because of a job, so it doesn't matter if they don't get a commendation, their legs haven't been taken care of yet. , you're going to drive people to work, people's hearts are full of flesh, do you think I won't be sad when I grow strong?"

Long Shen: "Aren't your legs better?"

He Yu said angrily: "Who said that, I look like I'm fine!"

Long Shen said lightly: "Last time I saw you go downstairs to get takeout, your legs are flying like flying, and you can run faster than Zhong Yuyi."

What a choking.

Long Shen: "This time Yunnan was injured, and your overall performance was good. The mission didn't work out, so it's impossible to be commended, but Bureau Song and I have applied for the casualty pension for you, which should be paid out this month. Transfer records."

He Yu's expression immediately bloomed with joy: "Boss, I am so cute with you, I knew you would definitely pity me!"

The word pity was used by him without any obstacle, and he was as calm as a dragon, and his face couldn't help but show a strange expression.

"So come here, what's the matter?"

He Yu smiled and said: "Help Xiao Dongzhi to take care of you! It's not me who said that you are a real apprentice, you study hard, don't say anything, you are obedient, and you take great care of you. I told me that you are afraid that you will have meetings all day long. If you are too busy, let me help urge you to rest more!"

He sighed again: "I'm so envious, I knew he was so filial, I just accepted the apprentice myself on the train, and now the game package will definitely not worry!"

Long Shen looked at him blankly.

He Yu laughed dryly, knowing that he had gone too far, and hurriedly brought the topic back.

"Actually, I also feel that you are a little absent-minded recently. Do you have any troubles? Even if you can't tell your apprentice, you can always chat with me, right?"

"Nothing." Long Shen said.

He Yu got up, limped over, and sat down on the desk.

"We have been fighting side by side for many years. Although you are my boss in public affairs, but in private, I regard you as a brother, and I also know that you are not like watching Chaosheng, and you are just ignorant of things. The whole world knows about it, but in life, how can you not have any troubles? You have been bored in your heart, even if a heart is harder than a diamond, one day it will not be able to bear it, right?"

The corners of Long Shen's mouth twitched slightly, looking at him, as if moving and funny.

He Yu pretended to be shy: "Boss, if you look at me like this again, I will think you are in love with me! Xiaodongzhi dare not ask you, so I have to do it for you. He said that you seem to be avoiding him recently, and you don't want to talk to me. He said one more word, worried that something happened to you, look, such a filial apprentice can't be found even with a lantern."

Long Shen was silent for a few seconds and said, "I'm fine."

If he hadn't been silent for a few seconds, He Yu would still feel that the winter solstice was unfounded.

But he has been with Long Shen for a long time, and he is not a heartless person in essence. On the contrary, he seems to be careless in his actions, but in fact he is also meticulous and sensitive, so all of a sudden, he felt that there must be some Inside story.

"Okay, if you say it's okay, it's okay! But over the winter solstice, what should I say?"

Long Shen's face was light: "Just say I'm fine."

He Yu tentatively said: "Boss, is it... the winter solstice makes you angry?"

Long Shen shook his head: "Don't guess, go back, get ready, and go out early."

If He Yu can ask it out, then Long Shen, the boss, should not be the boss.

He Yu was a little disappointed, but as expected, he thought fortunately he didn't make a bet with the Winter Solstice, otherwise he would definitely go bankrupt.

After returning, he immediately called the Winter Solstice and went straight to the subject: "I think our guess is quite reliable, the boss must have something on his mind!"

Winter Solstice: "Did you find out?"

He Yu vividly described the subtle changes in Long Shen's expression just now, and finally concluded, "I guess it's a private matter, and maybe it's related to you."

Winter Solstice stayed for a while: "It has something to do with me?"

He Yu: "He doesn't usually get too close to anyone. Let's get close to a few of us, but you are his apprentice, so you must be closer than us. He doesn't tell you, so what's the explanation? The reason? It can only be on you."

His analysis was well-founded, and the Winter Solstice was almost persuaded by him.

But what makes Long Shen feel unhappy about himself?

If it was said that he read a book until late at night and practiced the next day without energy, it has been so long since he knew his mistakes and corrected them. Long Shen is not a person who cares about things, and it is impossible for him to be estranged because of such trivial matters.

But what if it wasn't for this?

What else can make Long Shen alienate himself?

Is it...

Long Shen knew that he liked him?

The author has something to say:

He Yu: What is morality? I just want a gift bag, and whoever buys it is my father!
